MOOSIC - Wednesday would have been just another day selling "the best experience of your life" to johns at Trotters Motel for a few bags of heroin from her pimp if not for the warrant against Gabbrielle Cliff.

But a Lackawanna County detective looking to pick up the 22-year-old Blakely woman on an escape charge filed after she left her work-release program noticed her listing on Backpage.com and called her.

Under the website's escort section, the detective recognized Ms. Cliff posing in her underwear under the name "Lacey," offering the "best experience of your life" in a room at the Birney Avenue motel, according to a criminal complaint.

So the undercover detective arranged to spend an hour with Ms. Cliff for $200 and went to the motel with a handful of his colleagues.

Once the undercover detective got into Ms. Cliff's room, he signaled the arrest team and opened the door for them to nab Ms. Cliff, who said her pimp - Kevin Gilmore, 31, of Scranton - was right outside.

Detectives found Mr. Gilmore leaning back in the driver's seat of his Chevrolet Traverse outside Ms. Cliff's room smoking a joint and arrested him as well, detectives said.

Ms. Cliff said the money her clients pay her goes directly to Mr. Gilmore, who compensates his employee with food and heroin, seven bags of which were in her purse, the complaint said.

Detectives found $950 on Mr. Gilmore and charged him with promoting prostitution, hindering apprehension, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Ms. Cliff was charged with promoting prostitution, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

They were each arraigned before Magisterial District Judge John Pesota and sent to Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $10,000 bail.
